NEW YORK TIMES NATIONAL SUICIDE NOTE FOR ISRAEL
by Emanuel A. Winston,
Middle East Analyst & Commentator
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
August 21, 2008

Once again, the New York Times demonstrates its anti-Israel pro-Arab bias.

As radical Islamic "Jihadists" (holy warriors for Islam) rage across the globe, the New York Times offers a national suicide note, drafted for the Israeli Leftists to leave behind if and when she takes their advice to become a corpse. The August 18th NYT editorial "Perils of Israeli Transition" is a ‘spin’, telling us how PM Ehud Olmert is on the right track in dividing the Jewish nation to accommodate a non-people called ‘Palestinians’ who support Terror and the elimination of the Jewish State.

So, let’s go over the NYT suicide note: First, we are told that history is unlikely to be kind to Ehud Olmert, implying that he will be unfairly treated for what most consider the most corrupt and incompetent government Israel has ever had.

In the next paragraph, editorial spin tell us that, according to the NYT, Olmert understood that a two-state solution was vital for Israel’s security. That this scurrilous, anti-Semitic journal expresses concern about Israel’s security is laughable, considering their unbroken track record of anti-Jewish bias going back as far as WW2, when they either refused to cover the Nazi Holocaust or when they spun the information by saying ‘unconfirmed reports suggest casualties’.

A Political Order of Battle
Prof. Paul Eidelberg
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
August 18, 2008

Former US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton recently raised the question of a possible Israeli attack on Iran . Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Bolton urged the US to aid Israel before, during, and after such an attack—if it should take place.

This may mean that Bolton does not believe a US attack on Iran is in the cards. Indeed, pundits report that Washington is opposed to an Israeli preemptive strike because it would “destabilize” the region. And what would a nuclear armed-Iran do to the region—especially now that Vladimir Putin (allied with Iran) is restoring the Cold War, largely by means of Russia’s oil and gas resources on which Europe is dependent?

What does all this mean for Israel ? The continuance of a Kadima-led government can only spell further disaster—and not only because Kadima is committed to territorial retreat from Judea and Samaria . That very commitment signifies that the leaders of that ersatz party do not have the guts to deal with the Iranian threat.

What about Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu, if should he become Israel ’s prime minister? It was with this question in mind that I recently urged that he submit a bill to abrogate the Oslo Agreement.

Great issues of war and peace as related to Israel are being debated by Jews across America. Israelis are debating the same issues among themselves. There are strong opinions on both sides of the Atlantic as well as both sides of the major issues. What seems to be lacking in all these discussions is the proper historical context. Professor Paul Eidelberg of Bar-Ilan University, reviews the historical facts.

Between 1945 and 1978 the longest time without a war going on someplace was a mere 26 days. On an average day there are 12 wars being fought somewhere on earth. The consensus of scholars has been that the norm of international relations is not peace but war. As Eidelberg reports, "Indeed, the occurrence of 1,000 wars during the last 2,500 years indicates that "peace" is little more than a preparation for war. Which means that peace treaties are WORTHLESS, to say the least."

After all, I’m used to the Foggy Folks doing such things as fighting President Truman over his supporting Israel’s very rebirth; concocting latter day Arafatian Fatah “good cops” to force down Israel’s throat (knowing that on the issue of a permanent Jewish Israel, Abbas’s boys totally agree with the Hamas “bad cops”); demanding that Israel itself supply weapons to Fatah--which has as much, if not more, Jewish blood on its hands than Hamas--only to see such things as yeshiva students later massacred as a result; setting up equivalency standards whereby murderer and those in pursuit are placed on the same moral plane; and so forth.

The Arabists who wield too much say at Foggy Bottom have played such games for well over a half century now.

This weekend, yet another "deadline" passed for Iran to indicate it was seriously ready to discuss ending its pursuit of nuclear weapons. Like so many other deadlines during these five years of European-led negotiations, this one died quietly, with Brussels diplomats saying that no one seriously expected any real work on a Saturday.

The fact that the Europeans are right -- this latest deadline is not fundamentally big news -- is precisely the problem with their negotiations, and the Bush administration's acquiescence in that effort.

The rationality of continued Western negotiations with Iran depends critically on two assumptions: that Iran is far enough away from having deliverable nuclear weapons that we don't incur excessive risks by talking; and that by talking we don't materially impede the option to use military force. Implicit in the latter case is the further assumption that the military option is static -- that it remains equally viable a year from now as it is today.

It has come to pass that BhusseinO, the Appointed Leader, meets the requirements for the Second Coming (or the First, depending on your faith).

He ventured forth to bring light unto the world.The Anointed One's pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action - and a blessing to his faithful congregants.

Times: 7,25

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.

The Child was gracious in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a blessed white person and an African peasant. And yea, as He grew, The Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only an occasional detour into the odd weed or small confusion.

When He was twelve years old, they found Him in the Holy Temple of a Learned Priest in the City of Chicago, studying the heavenly wisdom of community organisation with the Prophet Jerewright and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that He opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”

APPEALS to the World for Sympathy for Jews in Israel Misses the Point
By Prof. Eugene Narrett

After the second assault in Jerusalem by an Arab driving a bulldozer down a street, this time on King David Street in Jerusalem (July 22), an attack in which a civilian again was the first one to stop the attacking murderer, Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Daniel Gillerman, appealing for empathy and understanding, addressed these words to his colleagues:

"[In Israel] You will see a country which is contributing each and every day to mankind and to humanity, not just to itself and to the Jewish people, and making the world a better place...."

He asked his colleagues to "imagine, for one moment, what it is like to be an Israeli."

He asked them to picture "a grandfather like me who sometimes goes to the kindergarten to pick

American Jewish Leaders Silent on Israel’s Crisis
The thoughts and writings of Prof. Eugene Narrett
ISRAEL END TIMES - June 20, 2008

Since the Israeli government, pressed vigorously by the US State Department, expelled 9000 Jews from their homes, farms, schools and synagogues in Gush Katif and Northern Samaria in August 2005, jihadists have showered rockets and mortars on towns, cities and farmers within the 1949 borders of Israel. To this assault, the response by a corrupt and defeatist Israeli regime has been minimal.

During this same time, the 9000 deported Jews have been dumped throughout Israel in trailer parks. The jobs, permanent residences, and compensation they were promised have been lacking. That the “world community” does not mention or care about these brutally displaced Jews is not unusual; but there also has been a failure of mainstream American Jewish leaders to speak publicly against the ethnic cleansing and its bitter aftermath. The highly touted “two-state solution” means more destruction of Jewish homes and more expulsions of Jews from the land of Israel.

These dual failures of trust, to the expelled Jews (whose deportation, it is claimed, will bring “peace”) and to totally suppress the rocket war on Israel, dismays lovers of Israel. One such person is Bernard (“Buddy”) Macy of New Jersey who in the past three years has become an impassioned advocate of justice for the deportees and for accountability and meaningful action from American Jewish organizations on behalf of an intact Israel.

Captive Exchanges, MU and Humiliating the Jew
ISRAEL END TIMES - July 17, 2008
The thoughts and writings of Prof. Eugene Narrett

In the late fourth century CE, Bishop Ambrosius of Milan and Syria and, about fifty years later, Augustine of Hippo in North Africa formulated the official position of the Roman church on the Jews. They should not all be killed, they argued, but small numbers of them kept around in degraded and weak stature so as simultaneously to prove the origins of the Jokerist redeemer and as evidence of how, as a result, the Almighty had rejected them as the chosen people and taken their Promised Land. This principle informs Rome to this day of the Quartet whose leader Tony Blair recently came out as a Catholic.

Humiliate the Jew: this is the ugly, murderous and self-destructive essence of “the West” to this day. It is embodied in the person of Tony Blair, newly come-out as a Catholic and leader of the Quartet’s unrelenting assault on Jewish sovereignty in the Promised Land. On July 16 Israeli security services saved his life from his Arab friends, playing their role in Edom’s game of humiliate the Jew.

Humiliate the Jew is the essence of the mis-named “captive exchange” in which the bodies of soldiers Regev and Goldwasser were returned to Israel in exchange for freeing dozens of Jew-murderers (“terrorists”) and two hundred bodies of same. The chief among the freed killers pledges to resume attacking Jews.

Barack Hussein Obama is about to make a trip of apology to Mahmoud Abbas for saying to AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) that Jerusalem should remain an undivided city. (1) The next day he flipped like a flap-jack after angry statements by Islamic "Jihadists" and, especially, from Mahmoud Abbas of the Fatah ‘Palestinians’, current President of the ‘Palestinian Authority’. Obama has more than 2 sides as does a flap-jack - otherwise known as "flipping a two-sided pancake".

Presently, Obama is going to apologize and assure Abbas (aka Abu Mazen), that he made a ‘mistake’ in speaking about Jerusalem as a "single sovereign city of the Jewish State". Obama wants to convince the Arab Muslim Palestinians that he really meant that a divided city so a ‘non-people’ could realize their dream that Jerusalem must belong only to them, to be only their capital and, therefore, legitimize the invention of a "Palestinian people of Arab extraction".

I guess we can thank the Israeli leadership for demonstrating how true
the Bible's insight is, as this clearly obsessed universalist
leadership leads Israel's Jews into the furnaces of today's Nazis, the
Arabs.

When I use the term "obsessed" I kid not. For the Israeli leadership
is indeed pathologically obsessed with an ideology that comes with its
own false conceptions of actual human personality that thinks that its
own universalist ideals must necessarily be shared by the Islamists,
who speak in the lingo of such universalism to make Israeli leaders
salivate but whose actual goal is destruction of Israel and its
universalism and the establishment of Muslim Arab particularism.

Hence, for all the virtues of Israel -- its technological excellence,
moral striving for justice and mercy -- its flaws pull it down,
changing these to vices. For example, the technology is used to
support the Arab enemy in its battle to destroy Israel and the
morality becomes a meaningless hollow shell that reveals itself by its
injustice, callousness, and virulent hatred directed toward their own
clear visioned Jewish brothers that wish to preserve the Israeli
nation. This moralistic leftist obsession is the result of deep
personality flaws, perhaps one part Stockholm Syndrome -- a reflection
of the real fear in leftist Jewish hearts that make them side with the
views of the enemy -- and the rest being a warped "over righteousness
and an overly wise" attitude that blinds them to reality and makes
them a laughing stock in the eyes of the Arab enemy and gives that
enemy great hope that it is they who will eventually win the war
against the Jews as the rollback of Israel over the past decades
clearly show.

Perhaps you recall a series of 5 movies starring Charles Bronson called "Death Wish" starting in 1974. His daughter was raped and then killed herself, fleeing her tormenters. Bronson, as Paul Kersey a well-known architect, began a mission of vengeance. He had a hand gun and roamed places like Central Park in New York City where thugs frequently decided he was an easy ‘mark’ to be mugged, robbed or killed. He shot them dead. Soon New York’s murders, robberies and rapes declined and the people were delighted. (So were the Police, although they couldn’t say so.)

I was thinking about this after I read about a Jewish, kippah-wearing boy, 17 year old Rudy Haddad, walking in a Jewish quarter, the 19th district of Paris on June 21st. Rudy was attacked by 15-30 "African immigrants". No one ‘said’ they were Muslims. They beat him with iron bars and fractured his skull. He has just awakened from a coma. This horror story has NOT been covered in the mainstream media. (See the article from Phyllis Chesler below.)
In January 2006 Ilan Halimi was brutally tortured for 3 weeks by gangs of African Muslim immigrants, along with the neighbors in Paris. He finally died on February 13, 2006. 19 of the gang are facing trial for his torture and murder.
What justice it would be to wander the streets of Paris, with an automatic weapon, looking like a vulnerable Jew and simply kill any and all who came to assault a Jew. No arrests - just seeming executions.

Laws are evolved by civilized people for civilized people - NOT for murdering thugs, especially those who believe their religion needs the fresh blood sacrifice of their victims. Muslims in France and England have invaded and brought with them the hate of their teachings in Islam. I speak of thugs and street gangs who look for victims, particularly Jews, to savagely beat and kill. Charles Bronson’s screen vigilante’s solution was fast and simple. No pity; no courts; no arrests - just kill them as they come at you. Their rules are No Pity, so let all play by their rules.

In a few weeks we, in America, will be remembering and celebrating the Fourth of July. I will be reflecting and remembering two Jewish Fourth of Julys from our history. On July 4, 1946, Polish Jews liberated from Nazi death camps gratefully made their way back to their “hometown” – and were welcomed then slaughtered by their Polish neighbors in a town called Kielce. The welcome home was not very welcoming. Thirty years later on July 4, 1976, there was also a moment of liberation and welcoming, for it was on July 4, 1976, that the Israeli Defense Forces rescued Jewish hostages kidnapped by PLO terrorists, from a place called Entebbe. While there was joyous celebrations and relief in Israel, at the United Nations there was only the usual condemnation. How dare Israel invade a sovereign country?
Yet it was President Gerald Ford who captured the moment when, in the middle of the Fourth of July celebrations in Washington, D.C., he interrupted the festivities to proudly announce that America had just been given a gift commemorating this special day of independence and freedom – “We have just been informed that the Israeli forces have rescued their hostages at Entebbe and have returned home safely.” On wings of eagles I shall bring you back!

HOW SECURE ARE JEWS IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD?
By Dr. Irving Kett
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
June 16, 2008

One of the significant milestones in Jewish history has recently taken place. The largest Jewish community in the world today lives in Israel. Within about ten years, it is anticipated, that in Israel will live the majority of World Jewry for the first time in 2,000 years. There are two reasons for this development. First the Jewish population in Israel is growing and that of diaspora Jewry is declining all over, including in the United States.

About 20 years ago I read a book by Rabbi Meir Kahane, Z’L’, who was assasinated in New York City. The approximate title of the book was, Uncomfortable Questions for too Comfortable American Jews that deeply impressed me. It describes how we Jews have a predilection for avoiding looking at our own situation and the world that we live in realistically. It is for that reason that Jews are continuously searching for other people to help, such as those in Darfur and all the other unfortunate Hopttentots of the world, while purposely avoiding to examine the dangers and challenges confronting their own existence. We today face a serious worldwide recrudescence of anti-Semitism, the likes of which has not existed since the 1940,s. I firmly believe that we, our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are confronted with a repeat of the tremulous year of 1938 and the subsequent tragedies that befell the Jewish people. In my opinion our only possible salvation is to strengthen the State of Israel demographically, physically, militarily, and spiritually. The Nazi Holcaust, which came almost a half century after the establishment of the modern Zionist movement, compelled the Jews to fulfill its destiny to return and found the new Jewish State. After twenty years of independence, the Jewish People, meaning principally American Jews again went to sleep. Just as Jews did not prepare to confront the enemy planning the first Holocaust, Jews are again in deep slumber as 1.5 billion Moslems are committed to carry the second Holocaust of the remaining Jews.

Once again the Olmert Gang is talking about releasing a hideous killer of Jews who has pledged in a February letter to Hebz’Allah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, to kill more Jews if and when he is freed in trade for remains of Jewish/Israeli soldiers.

Surely, this is more than sufficient reason to imprison the entire Olmert Gang as co-conspirators to murder. Terrorists released by the Olmert Gang have already resumed killing Jews and Olmert still remains free.

Samir Kuntar is serving 4 life sentences for the heinous murders in Nahariya, landing in a rubber boat on a beach on April 22, 1979. The militants took twenty-eight-year old Danny Haran hostage along with his four-year-old daughter, Einat. The mother, Smadar Haran, was able to hide in a crawl space above the bedroom with her two-year-old daughter Yael, and a neighbour.

THE FREEMAN CENTER VERSUS AIPACThe Truth and the Consequences
by Bernard J. Shapiro

We recently were witness to the large AIPAC Conference in Wasington D.C. All the presidential candidates plus many Israeli and Amrican political leaders spoke to the group. These included: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Ehud Olmert, John McCain and Condoleezza Rice Ehud Olmert, Benjamin Netanyahu and other major political leaders.

There are many Americans (especially in the State Department, CIA, academic, Muslim and left-wing communities) who believe that AIPAC is an evil force that distorts US Middle East policy to our detriment. On the other hand, there are many pro-Israel Jews and Christians, who believe that it is indispensable in the defense of Israeli interests in Washington. Tens of millions of dollars are raised annually to support this organization.

The Truth is not found in these two views of AIPAC described above. Up until 1992, one could say that the second positive view of AIPAC was correct. For many years Tom Dine headed that organization and led a never ending battle supporting Israel and Zionism. Then in the Israeli election of 1992, Labor leaders Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres took over Israel. Rabin became Prime Minister and Peres a Foreign Minister.

A GOVERNMENT GONE WILD - BUT -
THE CROOKS WANT TO STAY IN POWER
by Emanuel A. Winston
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
June 2, 2008

When an animal becomes rabid, it can be unpredictable and extremely dangerous to all others. Such animals become bold; they will attack; they will infect those they bite. It’s a disease that kills both the rabid aggressor and its victim - unless treated quickly.
What does one do with a government made up of principals and followers who seem to have been infected to the point they can no longer distinguish friends (their own people) from enemies who pledge to kill them - and then actually carry out this pledge?

Unlike rabid animals, it is not the Jewish way to put down government officials, even when they make it possible for their own people to be murdered. Worse yet, those in control, like the biased Court system and certain Police officials delay trials and the subsequent caging of incurable corrupt, ineffective elected officials who have already enabled the murder of Jewish Israeli citizens. Successive governments have done this through secret agreements which have strengthened Israel’s declared enemies and, at the same time, weakened the IDF (Israel Defense Forces).

VICTORY PLAN FOR ISRAELNotes and Bio From A Frustrated Jewish, Zionist,
Israeli and Texas American
by Bernard J. Shapiro
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
May 20, 2008

PART ONE: EARLY BIO

I was always a Jew, but something happened to me in 1959 that turned me into a Zionist. Don’t laugh, but I took a course in modern Jewish history and two of the reading assignments were: EXODUS by Leon Uris and THE COURSE OF MODERN JEWISH HISTORY by Howard M. Sacher. Coming from a Reform Jewish background in a state known more for its Texas pride than Jewish pride, I have come a long way. It has been an exciting journey, but now I am sad and frustrated.

I went to Israel for the first time with the Israel Summer Institute in 1960, and of course, fell in love with Eretz Yisrael. I returned to complete my studies at the University of California at Berkeley. My love for Israel seemed to be growing daily and expressed itself in multiple pro-Israel activities on the campus. I turned Hillel into and instrument of Zionist influence on the campus. The Hillel rabbi (like most of them was not a true Zionist) and sought to rain me in. He failed as I formed the Student Zionist Organization and increased my activities. We brought a steady stream of Israeli speakers to the campus and introduced African-Israeli-Zionist Night. Running two years in a row, it consisted of African, Jewish, Israel food, culture, dancing, literature. I worked as a liaison for the Israel Consul in San Francisco. He provided us and the Africans with some funding and support.

In retrospect these were great years, and perhaps impossible to recreate in the conditions today on U.S. Campuses. Even then the 5000 Arabs on the Berkeley Campus tried to stop us by enlisting the services of Gamel Abdul Nasser (dictator of Egypt) to persuade the African to boycott us. He failed as our influence was paramount.

Thursday, April 17. 2008

I am deeply disturbed by reports of greater and greater build-ups of Syrian troops and armor into what can become a major thrust to over-run the Israeli Golan Heights. I feel certain that Israeli forces can defeat any Syrian attack - unless they have been ordered by Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to retreat - thus allowing the Syrians to take over Israel’s vital defensive area that overlooks Israel’s Northern communities.

Some have forgotten that, at several different times, the Labor Party’s Leftist doctrine was to abandon the Golan Heights to Syria. Then PM Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres and Ehud Barak each engaged in back-channel negotiations with first Hafez al Assad and now with his son, Bashar Assad to gift the Golan to Syria all the way down to the shores of the Kinneret Sea.
That was within the Left’s failed doctrine of "Land for Peace". Many players tried to inaugurate this transfer. Israeli Leftists, the U.S. State Department, with an illustrious cast, including former Secretaries of State such as James Baker, III, Madeleine Albright, and now Condoleezza Rice - among others.

Offers were made for Israel to abandon their sophisticated electronic listening post on Mt. Hermon and Mt. Dov. The Americans offered to occupy those early warning stations and alert Israel if Syria was moving troops and armor into aggressive positions - as Syria is doing now. At one point, the idea was floated that the U.S. would establish a large Air Base on the Heights, once the Jews had been forced to abandon the Golan. So far, this hasn’t come to fruition.

On this Passover (2008) I have many thoughts and reflections. Some might be of interest to you. There are three special Holy Days in Judaism that deal with the salvation and liberation of the Jewish People. We just celebrated Purim and read how Esther was able to save our people from the evil Hamen. Rabbis for thousands of years have foretold that Hamens will arise in every generation to destroy us. Unfortunately they have been correct.

At Passover we re-live the most decisive moment in Jewish history. We were not only liberated from bondage in Egypt, saw G-d's miracles, received the Ten Commandments, but were given Eretz Yisrael as a our sacred inheritance.Like many gifts from HaShem, we had to earn it by hard work and many battles against our enemies.

There are three more Israeli National Holidays we celebrate at this time of year, Yom ha-Sho'ah (Holocaust Remembrance Memorial), Yom ha-Zikkaron (Remembrance Day for fallen soldiers and terrorist victims) and finally Yom ha-Azma'ut (Israel Independence Day). They are all related. The Holocaust, though it came half a century after the beginning of modern Zionism, forced the Jewish People to act to fulfill its mission. Unfortunately the Jewish people then went to sleep and is not preparing to prevent the Second Holocaust that is being planned for us by 1.5 billion Muslims. So much for all the Holocaust Museums and the the slogan NEVER AGAIN

On her 60th Birthday party, May 10th America’s President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will present the Jewish people a birthday present which may come in the form of a poisoned apple. Israel’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will knowingly accept the poison and feed it to the Jews of Israel and World Jewry - as he did in Gush Katif/Gaza. Actually, we do not yet know what poison will be chosen and the Bush/Olmert regimes will, of course, not tell us in advance lest we find an antidote.

Let us speculate on what this black hearted cabal might have been working on for Israel’s 60th Birthday:

1. It might be an under-the-table document like the Oslo Accords were when then PM Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres brewed up, in secrecy, the surrender of 7 cities in Eretz Yisrael to Yassir Arafat which inevitably became official Terrorist encampments.
2. It might be a document to be signed by Olmert, Bush and Abbas with Bush as a guarantor, to relinquish all Jewish rights to Judea and Samaria. (The idea is that once the Prime Minister of Israel signs a document from the position of his lofty office, thereafter, it is an irrevocable commitment by all of Israel - (whether they voted for it or not) - before all other world bodies. Naturally, it would be planned to by-pass any Knesset vote or Peoples’ Referendum. 3. Olmert, Foreign Minister Tzippi Livni and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, in collusion with Bush, Rice, the U.S. State Department - with James Baker III as advisor, could sign a document dividing Jerusalem (G-d forbid). With that, they would abrogate any claim to sovereignty that the Jewish people have over the Land of Israel granted to the Jewish people by G-d in perpetuity.
4. It may be recalled that U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney stated plainly in a joint news conference with PM Ehud Olmert that "The U.S. will never pressure Israel to risk her security." We all took this as a statement of truth. But, apparently, Bush, Rice and Cheney had something else in mind - as a different interpretation. Their idea was to follow the Rice, Baker "Road Map", calling for Israel to achieve that "thing" called security and peace.

DAYENU -- IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH
by Bernard J. Shapiro
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
April 2, 2008

Dear Friends of Israel:

Like most of you, I am frustrated, angry and depressed over the actions of the Israeli government. We must, however, get over the depression and then use our anger to spur ourselves to greater action on behalf of Israel. EIN BREIRA. In that spirit I offer the following chant or song to sing at demonstrations (slightly abridged from the popular song sung at Passover). Sing the traditional Dayanu, and then the new resistence against the deportation of Jews from Eretz Yisrael Dayanu. Please distribute to your friends for their family Seder this year as widely as possible:........With Love of Israel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TO THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT OF OLMERT, BARAK,
LIVNI AND PERES

DAYENU -- IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH

If you had collaborated with enemy to get elected to office,Dayenu -- It would have been enough to rebel against your rule

If you had collaborated with the enemy and not given away our Sacred Land and Holy Places,Dayenu -- It would have been enough to rebel against your rule

The news, recently, has been filled with revelations about Barack Hussein Obama, otherwise known as the man who would be President. Of course, I have been calling him the Manchurian Candidate-in-waiting for months. It’s nice that the national news media has started paying attention to the very dubious and sinister background of this man. Heaven knows how this will play out.

People have become so dumbed down. I called an Israeli friend of mine who has been expounding on the glories of Obama since the first of the exposés of the Presidential candidate hit the evening news. I said, “See! I told you so! The man is dangerous and not to be trusted.” Her answer was, “I still think him a wonderful man. I know that you’re from Atlanta and people from the South feel differently about black people.” I shouted back, “It’s not a black thing! It’s a character thing! It’s about standards! Do you really want a President of the United States who has conversations three times a week with Rev. Al Sharpton and who has to go on FOX News to defend himself?"

I know we Jews don’t seem to learn from History but, just in case here is an awakening:
We are informed by DEBKAfile that Hezb’Allah has quadrupled its stock of Katyusha missiles to 40,000 since the 34 day Lebanon War of July-August of 2006. Hezb’Allah’s rocket arsenal is 3½ times its pre-2006 Lebanon War stockpile. Some of the 40,000 rockets of Syrian and Iranian manufacture can hit Israeli targets as far south as Beersheva, 350 km. Away from the Shi’ite terror group’s launching pads north of Lebanon’s Litani River. Between Hezb’Allah in the North and Hamas South in Gaza, these 2 surrogates of Iran can cover most of Israel except for Eilat. Syria has shipped to Hezb’Allah quantities of anti-air weapons, including shoulder-borne rockets and scores of Russian-made anti-aircraft ZSU-100 automatic 14.4 mm caliber cannon, effective against low-flying aircraft, helicopters and drones.

TRUE ORIGIN OF THE OSLO PLAN - NOT A PURIM STORY
ISRAEL AND THE CAMEL DUNGA Jewish Parable
by Bernard J. Shapiro (1994)

On his deathbed Neville Chamberlain, former British Prime Minister, said the following to his son:"Everything would have worked out OK if Hitler had not lied to me."
=============

The circumstances which led to this tale of ISRAEL AND THE CAMEL DUNG were first predicted by the wise men of Chelm sometime in the 18th century. It took 200 years and the revival of the Jewish State for this prediction to come true. At the time these wise men were dismissed as fools.

Sometime in the early 1990's there was a wise King of Israel named Peres the Brilliant. The most serious threat to Israel came from evil man named Yassir the Bloody. Now Peres wondered how he could make peace with Yasser so that Israel would be loved throughout the Middle East. He and his favorite advisor, Beilin the Poodle, set out the make peace and change the Middle East forever.

First they sent emissaries to Yassir and when they found that he was receptive, a meeting was scheduled. They couldn't meet in Israel so they chose the next best place, Oslo. When they all entered the meeting room, everyone noticed a smell coming from a package held by Yassir. Peres didn't want to insult Yassir but was very curious and the odor was a bit overpowering. As was normal, Peres whispered to his Poodle to ask the delicate question. So Beilin asked Yassir and the rest is history.

OLMERT’S PLAN OF "ONE STATE" for all its Peoples

The following may make sense to those who studied Israel’s evolvement since 1948. I could go back further but, this is to be an article and not a 600 page book.
Every indication demonstrates that Israel’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, his entourage and the corps of the Left started out with the idea of a "Two-State Solution" by evacuating Judea, Samaria and those parts of Jerusalem occupied and desecrated by Jordan for 19 years from 1948 to 1967. Jordan annexed Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem - illegally - a move recognized by only Great Britain and Muslim Pakistan.

The ill-gotten concept of a "Two-State Solution" gained form in the early 1980s when Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres started to confer (illegally) in the early 1980s with the father of today’s "Jihadist" Terrorism, Yassir Arafat, to drive the Jews out of the territories Israel liberated in the 1967 Six Days’ War. Arafat, Rabin and Peres wanted the Jews to turn over all housing, farms, infrastructure, water, electric grids, roads, etc. to the incoming Arab Muslim Palestinians who were to be ejected from Jordan, Syria, Iran and Lebanon into vacated territory. That same plan remained under Oslo and is now extended under the "Road Map" for Judea, Samaria and those parts of Jerusalem illegally occupied by Jordan, only recognized by Great Britain and Muslim Pakistan.

This was in the belief that the Arab Muslims could be pacified with assets built by the Jews and taken from the Jews, including their ancient G-d given Land. This was an unproven idea merely thought up by Peres, Yossi Beilin and various Leftist academics which was sold to Yitzhak Rabin. This was mostly pre-Olso but it morphed into the full Oslo Accords, negotiated in secret and signed September 13, 1993 on the White House lawn.

Eight students of the wisdom of the Holy One, the Highest Wisdom, were gunned down the evening of Thursday March 06, 2008, two weeks before the Fast of Esther and the holiday of Purim when the Jews of Persia rose up “and did to their enemies what they had thought to do to the Jews.” But the spirit that animated the fighters of Purim, three and half centuries later, the Maccabees in the Land of Israel and so many other Jewish warriors for millennia seems lost to the Rabbis of the modern state, and in the galut, too. Crying and proclaiming one’s heartache at funerals seems to have replaced the spirit of Moshe, Joshua, David, and millions of others, famous or unknown. Dissolving in tears, like a woman, lets one avoid confronting an idolatrous, treacherous and remorseless anti-Jewish police state, the client of gentile kingdoms and their lynchpin, Rome.

Indeed, in the morbidly feminized exilic-Judaism of our day it is a women-led group that calls for a new settlement to be built in the heartland, one for each student murdered at Yeshiva Mercaz HaRav Kook. Elsewhere women lead polemics for trans-gendered law (as in Boston, March 07).

Let’s try to examine this situation systematically with assistance from the Rambam so that all Israel from the ignorant to “Torah geniuses” can understand the response. Be clear on a key point first: as Torah and history show, Amalek may seem to disappear for generations but does not go away. The command to blot out his seed is eternal as reviewed below. “Fearlessness” is essential to truth, wise judgment and peace.*

Those Who Fail To Learn From History Are Condemned To Repeat It
by Bernard J. Shapiro
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
February 15, 2008 (Original 1992)

"In 1934, Harry W. Freeman, my grandfather, was already lecturing about the dangers of Hitler and Nazism. Nobody listened. The Holocaust was not prevented. Today Israel's enemies plan a second Holocaust against the Jews of Israel and the world. The governments and people of Europe not only acquiesce but actively aid in this genocidal plan through diplomatic and material support. The American State Department encourages this by actively striving to weaken Israel's strategic and military superiority.

Their first stage is to use the so called "peace process" to weaken Israel and strip it of its strategic territories. They are being aided by the same hypocrites and accomplices in the West who failed to aid the Jews of Europe in their darkest hour. Unfortunately, even left-wing Israelis have fallen victims to the seductive lure of peace and have begun a policy of appeasement similar to that tried with Hitler. The results will be no different.

"The Arab propaganda full of slanders and libels; the media bias against Israel replete with double standards and the rewriting of history are all working to the same end: making Israel appear illegitimate. Israel is the only country considered by many to be guilty of original sin by virtue of its very existence. This process has as its goal creating a world climate in which the destruction of Israel is acceptable. Many in the Jewish community are either apathetic or fail to recognize this threat.

"I founded the Freeman Center For Strategic Studies (1992) in order to create a powerful voice to arouse the Jewish community to the action necessary to frustrate the evil designs of the enemies of Israel. I need your help to accomplish this mission."

THE FALL OF THE THIRD TEMPLE
by Emanuel A. Winston, Freeman Center Middle East Analyst & Commentator

We have been informed that the Olmert government has been engaged
in secret talks with the Muslim Arab Palestinians to divide Jerusalem. (1)Mark this day of February 10, 2008 on your calender as a day of infamy.
The lead negotiator is Tzippi Livni, of course, backed by PM Ehud Olmert,
DM Ehud Olmert and President Shimon Peres. When you look at the teams
subverting Israel, you will see the aforementioned Amalekites of Olmert,
Barak, Livni and Peres.

Another team in the forefront of this treachery is Bush, Rice and James Baker III.

To their Left, you will see Saudi King Abdullah, PA ("Palestinian" Authority) President Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen), President Bashar Assad of Syria and other Arab/Muslims - in collusion with the American team.
Trailing behind will be Shas and the Leftist rabble, cheering and waving banners, not understanding that they are "dead men walking" to their grave.
I have envisioned the nations of the world converging to attack Israel as written in "The GATHERING OF THE NATIONS" #1, August 4, 2001, #2 November 12, 2003, #3 August 15, 2004, #4 February 7, 2005, #5 April 14, 2006, #6 November 2, 2006 and #7 on November 25, 2007. [If you have the patience to read numbers 1 through 7, you can view the buildup to the Disengagement of Israel (aka dismantling) through the efforts of the Bush Administration and, as it continues today with Condoleezza Rice delivering the ‘coup de grâce’. See end for how to get articles 1 through 7.] ***

Despite a recent U.S. National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) that says otherwise,
Iran's plan to acquire nuclear weapons remains firmly in place. Israel has no
legal obligation to sit back and wait to be annihilated — international law is
not a suicide pact. A principal effect of the American NIE will be to inhibit any
pre-emptive action against Iranian nuclear assets and infrastructures.

In the words of Maj.-Gen (res.) Aharon Ze'evi Farkash, former director of
Israel Defense Force (IDF) military intelligence, " the NIE opens
the way for Iran to achieve its military nuclear ambitions without any
interference." Gen. Farkash's observation refers to Washington
and Jerusalem.

Both theUnited States and Israel would now find it more difficult to exercise
"anticipatory self-defense" against Iran. Indeed, from a purely
tactical standpoint, the United States Air Force (USAF) would still be
better prepared to launch any pre-emptive strikes against Iranian
hard targets than the Israel Air Force (IAF). The IAF is very capable,
but it is also very small.

Unless either the United States or Israel remains willing to strike
defensively against an openly genocidal regime in Tehran, Israel may
have to resign itself to "living" with a nuclear Iran. Such resignation
would be ill-advised, because Tehran is unlikely to satisfy the most
basic assumptions of stable nuclear deterrence. Such coexistence
could never resemble the earlier U.S.-Soviet "balance of terror."
This would not be your father's Cold War.

Once upon a long time ago, the Israeli people relied on the courts, Shabak (GSS), the police and the IDF (Israel Defense Forces). We were all proud of what was ethical behavior. People did not think of the system’s growing political corruption. Policemen were our friends and never to be feared as was the case in Egypt, Syria, Iran and especially Russia.
How proud we all were of the Secret Services of Mossad and Shabak! Even the Judges, like Shamgar were considered honorable. But, that began to change under Leftist leadership who began to pack all the systems with political Leftists who would work against all those who were pejoratively called "The Political Right".

The once honored pioneering settlers suddenly became the reason (according to the Left) that Palestinian Arab Muslims and the Arab Muslim world rampaged against the Jewish State. The fact of the conflict were brushed aside and, in its place, the new formula was "appeasement in the hope Terror would cease". After countless gestures of unreciprocated appeasement, conventional wisdom should have surfaced, indicating that the Arab Muslims were dedicated to "Jihad" (Holy War for Islam) and the liquidation of the Jewish State of Israel cannot be reasoned with.

HOW SECURE ARE JEWS IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD?
by Dr. Irving Kett
Colonel, U.S. Army, Retired
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
February 6, 2008

One of the most significant milestones in Jewish history has recently taken place. The largest Jewish community in the world today lives in Israel. Within about ten years, it is anticipated, that in Israel will live the majority of World Jewry for the first time in 2,000 years.
About 20 years ago I read a book by an author whose name escapes me. The approximate title of the book was, Uncomfortable Questions for too Comfortable American Jews that deeply impressed me. It describes how we Jews have a predilection for avoiding looking at our own situation and the world that we live in realistically. It is for that reason that Jews are continuously looking to help other people, such as those in Darfur and all the other unfortunate Hopttentots of the world, while purposely avoiding to examine the dangers and challenges confronting their own existence. We today face a serious worldwide recrudescence of anti-Semitism, the likes of which has not existed since the 1940's. I firmly believe that we, our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are confronted with a repeat of the tremulous year of 1938 and the subsequent tragedies that befell the Jewish people. In my opinion our only possible salvation is to strengthen the State of Israel demographically, physically, militarily, and spiritually.
Psychologists claim that between 3 to 1/3 of Jews are so emotionally traumatized by centuries of persecution and discrimination that they reject their own heritage and immerse themselves instead in the culture and problems of other people, even when the latter groups vehemently reject them and pour scorn and abject hatred upon them.

The entire body of the Jewish people today -- in Israel, in Europe, in America, in Australia and New Zealand, and throughout the world -- is in grave danger. Our very existence as a people and as a faith is in jeopardy. The threat to our survival has two components to it: the external siege being waged against Israel and the Jewish people throughout the world by the international jihadist movement, its sympathizers and appeasers; and the internal siege that we Jews, both in Israel and in the Diaspora, including the United States, are waging against ourselves.

We will look first at the external siege -- war that is being waged against us. It has its military, diplomatic, and ideological-propaganda aspects.

Military threat

On the "military" front (if that is the right word for the front of violence and terror) we have been under constant assault since the signing of the Oslo accords between Israel and the PLO in 1993.

During the past fourteen and a half years the Palestinian Arab terrorists have murdered over 1,800 Israelis, two thirds of them civilians. This is more than the total number of Israelis murdered by the Palestinian Arabs in the forty-four years preceding the "peace accords." Many of the killers have been members of the Palestinian Arab "police force" established with Israel 's consent in Gaza, Judea and Samaria under the Oslo accords. Indeed, Palestinian "police" have murdered three Israelis just over the past month.

For the past seven years, Israeli towns and villages near the border with Gaza have been subjected to rocket attacks; during the past two years, the city of Sderot, with a population of some 23,000, has been bombarded with rockets nearly every day. Its residents have about twenty seconds whenever a warning siren sounds to duck into a shelter. The missiles have killed some people; many more have been wounded; and thousands, including Sderot's children, have suffered shock and trauma.

Egypt, supposedly at peace with Israel, has enabled the Hamas terrorists who control Gaza to move vast amounts of armaments, money and soldiers into this territory, and to transform themselves from a guerilla force into an army able to fight Israel on nearly equal terms. The Israelis have even captured on videotape Egyptian "border guards" helping to smuggle in terrorists.

Then there are the Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon, who killed about 140 Israeli soldiers and 43 civilians in 2006, many of them with long range rockets that struck deep inside the Galilee, including Israel 's third largest city, Haifa. Hezbollah recently struck again with rockets at kibbutz Shlomi. Since the 2006 Lebanon war, Hezbollah has completely rearmed, and now has missiles that can strike at the heart of Tel Aviv.

Standing behind Hezbollah are Syria and Iran. Both of these hateful regimes make no bones about their desire to destroy Israel. Both are armed with chemical and biological weapons, missiles that can reach every inch of Israeli territory, the most advanced fighter jets, and numerous other ultramodern weapons. Both regimes are working at break-neck speed to develop nuclear weapons. This has been thoroughly documented, despite the attempts of the recent "National Intelligence Estimate" to deny this reality.

The appellation: "The Poison Dwarf" first belonged to Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. He was not trusted by many in Washington because he was known to be ruthless to friends and foes alike. He got what he wanted, usually by leaving trail of broken bones of those he rolled over. Now that he is gratefully dead, the appellation: "The Poison Dwarf" has become generic for many in the world of politics and the military.
Barak has a record that speaks of manipulation, blunders and an inflated ego that generates ideas which have a short vision. In a way we see those traits also in Shimon Peres and Ehud Olmert.

Barak, in his early years, was selected as a P.C. (Politically Correct Candidate for higher office). That included a special status in the Army where he would be quickly advanced and given high profile missions that generated commendations and medals. The Labor Party people also built an aura around him as a thinker, a visionary and a future candidate for political office. Regrettably, his smarts were more of the manipulation variety than that of a deep thinker and a visionary. In brief, he was not Arik Sharon, either at the military level nor at the political level. (Note! I do recognize Sharon’s personal failures toward the last years of his life.)

The long-awaited alien space ships which have been such a mystery finally landed. They are presently in the desert of New Mexico, awaiting a delegation from the President of the United States and representatives of the world’s nations. There is a nervous silence.
A door is opening and a platform is being lowered.
The delegation is anxiously now awaiting the emergence of these visitors from a distant world. Speculation is rife. Who are they? What do they want? What will they look like? Is this a friendly visit?

The main ship is estimated to be a mile in length and a half mile in width. It landed silently and rests lightly on the ground.
Several figures are emerging. There seems to be ten aliens who come out. They are quite small with thin spindly legs. They have some sort of cloaks with black and white stripes. They are wearing small black hats that look like beanies or what some call "skull caps".
The delegations start to speak to each other.

Something’s wrong! They don’t seem to understand each other’s language. The aliens seem agitated as they are waving their arms about and shrugging their shoulders.
Wait! The U.S. delegation is calling for a number of what we are told are language experts. They are trying to communicate with the visitors. More hand waving and shoulder shrugging.
The spokesman for the linguists is telling the President that, as far as they can discern the visitors are speaking some sort of dialect that seems like ancient Aramaic not heard on Earth for thousands of years.

The visitors have turned back to their ship, seemingly arguing with each other with much hand waving. It is very tense as the world’s delegations wait in consternation, not knowing what to do. The aliens go back into their ship.
In about 10 minutes the strangers re-emerge, holding some sort of box with speakers. I think it’s some kind of translator.
